I've just acquired a GLoria Synergy+ off EBay, and you'll be glad to hear it is
showing the same symptoms that you're seeing. Booting with FIFO_DISCONNECT gies
orange text on black background, 640x480, ignoring the requested video mode.
Depending on the phase of the moon, the 3c905 can't read it's MAC address or
the sound card driver fails to start.

Switching off FIFO_DISCONNECT turns the text white, *but* the other problems
persist for me. There's definitely something quite horrible going on. I will be
investigating when I get the time.
